Beta FTV.1 | Suborbital Flight Test

i'd like to buy the debris of the crashed first stage

Space is hard and RUD is the start of journey to explore more. Good job ispace and rest in pieces Beta FTV1.

Very nice gridfins

The explosion was byotifol tho :)

@jrzspace yup.

@SFSMatt ok, i will add telemetry data next test

Did you make the landing leg?

now 1 question, can you land with grid fins like SpaceX

It failed successfully

@iSpace R.I.P.

@GalaxyEye about 20.1 kilometers. thanks to the new throttle control program. it works very well.

what is the maximum altitude the vehicle reaching?

At the launch tho... you can tell the TWR of the vehicle due to how fast it rises, and the fact that the engines don’t seem to be at 100% throttle... and you can also tell it had a load of fuel still onboard due to the explosion. Can’t wait to try it out!

nice ending fireworks though lol

oof, just like SN8 lol
R.I.P indeed

abnormal, program problem made the engine close after landing burn start. However, the engine restart quickly.
The main reason which made the vehicle explode is fuel excess.

Cool! R.I.P. FTV-1.
BTW, I noticed the engine closing briefly before the rocket explode.
is this normal？
